Weather in August
Temperature
August brings a marginal elevation to a still moderately hot 84.2°F (29°C) from July's 85.8°F (29.9°C) in Parkersburg's average high-temperatures. With a significant daily temperature differential, Parkersburg's nighttime temperature in August falls to an average of 61.5°F (16.4°C).Heat index
The heat index value during August is evaluated at a tropical 93.2°F (34°C). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
